Car Safety / General Servicing Checks --------Basic suspension checks

A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.
If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

thanks for the pics bro, im not a fan of the arches, i think its all about personal style, but they still look hella good, and good to know they lasted a long time.
dakid: when you do yours post some pics. for others to see.
i know im not the only cb owner to do this, but im sure its thought of alot and having the diy thread for ppl to see, im guessing it may catch on just a little more...
thanks for all the replies

cb7inct: ya your right its like a mad face, kinda like a boser hood made for some cars. still a great idea on both staight and arched looks.

Nope, didn't clear them.
As for then corners, since the corners are black, I don't think you'll even be able to see the eyelid unless you're right up on it. So I think I'm just gunna leave it like that, atleast for now.
